Chapter 281: Greedy Dogs
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Did you go to the cold cave over there?” Luo Cheng asked sternly while glaring at the dogs.
As if they knew they had done something wrong, the dogs leaned over and lay on the ground. Then, they drooped their heads with a guilty look.
Seeing this, Li Xiaoran couldn’t help but laugh.
“These dogs are smart!”
Seeing Li Xiaoran smile, Luo Cheng couldn’t help but remind her.
“Wife, I’m teaching them a lesson so that they won’t do anything dangerous.
How can I teach them a lesson if you’re smiling?”
“Huh?” When Li Xiaoran heard Luo Cheng’s words, she quickly stopped smiling and picked up the fish on the ground.
“Then I’ll cook the fish. Husband, take your time to teach them a lesson! By the way, I’ll leave some fish soup for them.” With that, Li Xiaoran reached out to take the fish on the ground.
However, when the pups heard Li Xiaoran’s words, as if they understood, they quietly looked up at Li Xiaoran expectantly.
Seeing this, Luo Cheng was amused.
“Bring back all the other fish as well!”
When the pups heard this, they quickly wagged their tails and ran out.
Not long after, the pups returned together with a bamboo basket in their mouths.
When Li Xiaoran saw that the bamboo basket was filled with fish, her mouth fell open.
“Don’t underestimate them. They’re actually smarter than humans! This basket of big fish is for us to eat. They’ll eat the other basket of small fish,” Luo Cheng said as he looked at the pups.
“Go and bring back the small fish you want to eat! I’ll fry them and make dried fish for you tonight!”
As soon as he said this, the group of pups immediately jumped up happily and rushed out again.
When the group of pups returned with a basket of small fish, Li Xiaoran had already calmed down.
“I didn’t expect you pups to be a group of greedy dogs!” Li Xiaoran touched them one by one and then took all the fish away, leaving Luo Cheng to teach these bold pups a lesson.
Just as he finished dealing with a few big fish, Luo Cheng walked over.
“How is it? Have you lectured them enough?” Li Xiaoran asked teasingly.
When Luo Cheng heard this, he rolled up his sleeves and squatted beside Li Xiaoran to deal with the small fish in the wooden basin.
“These dogs all have their own talents, but when they work together, they’re bold and can achieve anything. Do you know what kind of place that cold cave I’m talking about is? It’s a very deep cave. The water in the mountain flows out from there. That cold cave is warm in winter and cold in summer, but it’s very dangerous inside. No one dares to go in! These few fellows are bold. Every time they crave the fish inside, they will run in and fish with bamboo baskets!” Luo Cheng explained as he removed the fish scales.
“Then how did they know that there were fish in the cold cave?” Li Xiaoran asked the key question.
This time, Luo Cheng smiled awkwardly.
“It’s my fault. When I discovered that there was a cave there, I wondered if I could use it as a wine cellar, so I brought Big Yellow along to explore. However, the terrain in the cold cave was complicated and there were dark rivers everywhere. We retreated without going deep inside and only caught some fish to eat at the periphery of the cold cave. From then on, Big Yellow knew that there were delicious fish there and would run in to catch them every time it wanted to eat them.
“So, the reason these pups went back to catch fish was because Big Yellow brought them there?” Li Xiaoran thought of something and asked.
“That’s right! Big Yellow brought them there a few times. Later on, they were able to find the way themselves! For some reason, Big Yellow didn’t go today, but the other dogs did!” Luo Cheng said.
“No wonder Big Yellow gestured at me earlier. At first, I thought it had gone to the river to catch fish, but after all this time, it was catching fish in the cold cave! But on second thought, Big Yellow and the others might have jumped into the water of the cold cave to swim and caught these fish!” Li Xiaoran said, “By the way, I’ve been at home for several months, and I’ve never seen you bathing Big Yellow and the others, but Big Yellow and the others have always been very clean. Even if they were dirty, they quickly became clean again after running out! ”
“They went to the river to wash themselves! Don’t underestimate these dogs. They’re very smart!” Luo Cheng replied with a smile.
“Other people raise dogs amidst chaos. Our dogs can guard the house and have their own specialties. They can even catch fish for themselves to eat. As the owner, you should be happy! If others know that you have such capable dogs, they will be so jealous!” Li Xiaoran couldn’t help but say when she saw Luo Cheng’s smug expression.
When Luo Cheng heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he was immediately amused. “That’s why I didn’t publicize it outside! I only said these words to you!”
“Yes, yes, yes! Our pups are so cute. We can’t let others kidnap them!” Li Xiaoran said with a smile.
“I’m so lucky to have so many fish to eat today!” When Elder Xu walked back at this moment and saw the two of them killing fish, he immediately rolled up his sleeves and came over.
With Elder Xu’s help, the three of them killed the fish much faster.
Before long, the basket of small fish was ready.
Li Xiaoran first cut the fish into pieces and tasted them before starting to make fired dried fish.
Their family didn’t lack oil now, so Li Xiaoran was willing to use oil when she fried the fish.
Before long, the smell of fried fish came from the kitchen.
Big Yellow and the pups ran to the kitchen to stand guard when they smelled the aroma. They stared at the stove covetously.
As Li Xiaoran looked at the pups, she immediately laughed.
“Why do I feel like they’re like us when we were young? They’re always by the pot when it’s time to eat, as if they can eat more delicious food by standing guard here!”
Luo Cheng looked at the gluttonous dogs with a smile.
“Give them some of the fried dried fish first! Otherwise, I’m afraid our kitchen will be drowned in saliva.”
When Li Xiaoran heard Luo Cheng’s words, she looked at the mouths of the pups.
Sure enough, some of the dogs were already showing glistening drool with ravenous looks on their faces.
“Alright, I’ll share some with you guys first!” Li Xiaoran was overjoyed. She quickly took out some fried dried fish and handed them to the pups sitting in rows.
After each dog was given two dried fish, Big Yellow led its friends out of the courtyard and the dogs ate together..
